purple-eyes Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Reyton hightower and his daughter were in the tower for like 10 years to learn magic. What magic they are checking? I guess it is not how to maintain beauty by bathing in blood. How to tame or kill a dragon? How to defeat iron born? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Guy Garlan Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Crackpot incoming! We know the Hightowers have somewhat strangely given asylum to Alekyne Florent, an attainted and well-known traitor. What's up with that? Well, what if Leyton was like, "Welcome to Oldtown, my boy! As long as you're behind these walls you're relatively safe. And do try the whores sometime. Everyone does! But seriously now, I was just curious if you might have any information about Lord Celtigar and his Claw Isle. I'm asking because your kin, including your own father, was cavorting with him at Dragonstone and might've heard something. Even here in the heights of the Hightower I caught some whiff of a scheme of sorts hatched by your uncle, about having a Lysene pirate raid Celtigar's castle? You see, I'm particularly interested on a certain horn that I think might be most helpful for us with our present Ironborn problem? You wouldn't happen to know anything about it, do you?"

Ashur Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I dont really know. But since the High Tower is built upon one of those ancient oily-stoned fort... I guess it has an special focus for magic. Magic related with the Dawn culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shouldve Taken The Black Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I have a theory myself that Leyton might be being held against his will in some way by the Maesters because of his involvement in magic (and perhaps because he knows something). I don't really know how they would achieve that, but I like the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nozlym Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 that would be some serious shit right there. it would answer the friends in the reach pretty easily. and also give us a clue as to where jon con and co r heading next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll head to Oldtown regardless. I've always liked Fire Eater's theory about Aegon showing up at the last minute and saving the Hightowers from the Ironborn attack. And then he gets officially crowned at Oldtown like Aegon I (I think?) as a crowd cheers, Dany's vision fulfilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to wonder how they're going to bow out of the debacle over Brightwater, since Leyton (presumably) is sheltering his brother in law Alekyne while a force comes to take it for his grandson Garlan. That's going to be a tough one to stay neutral about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I don't know why all the political connections were firing in Jaime's head the day he suggested Cersei ask Mace to win back Storms End, or how she was smart enough to do it, but it was one of their better moves. Highgarden winds up spread all over the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet they were at the center of the "greens". Haldon quietly allowing JonCon to be the visible man behind fAegon whilst hiding his identity is actually very smart & consistent with their larger view. If the invasion fails he & Lemore have an alibi.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Leyton is helping a pretender whose rise to power would most likely mean the death/exile/doom of his granddaughter, grandsons, daughter and son-in-law? Man, Leyton is an asshole.
